Happy campers.

We have been talking and thinking about doing some bike camping soon and draggin friends with us. Can't wait for the spring and see what other adventures we might get into, including perhaps a century... oh yea. Thought I'd share this sweet painting by Kevin Cyr, based out of NYC. Neat stuff.Have you gone bike camping? if so do tell :DHappy Sunday!

Eleven of us went on a one-night bike camping trip outside of Kansas City. For me, it was about a 70 mile round trip. It was shorter for some, and longer for others. It was technically a "Sub-24 Hour Overnight" trip, or "S24O" as some bike touring/camping folks call it.

I was surprised and inspired by the variety of people's gear, from their bike types and how they opted to carry stuff to the camp site, down to the various supplies, tents, clothing, and food brought on the trip. I'm definitely organizing another one of these, maybe two, for 2010!

I've never tried bike camping, but have thought that some of the state parks around Monterrey Bay (Manresa Uplands, Sunset Beach particularly) and even down to Big Sur would be nice places to try. Manressa Uplands is a walk in campground with limited automotive access.

hah thats a cool picture. I've never bike camped but my husband and I have been discussing doing it this year. Just a matter of buying all the gear and finding a place. I grew up camping alot so im excited to try it with a bike instead of a mobile home lol.
